I made a joke at Thanksgiving that required very little knowledge of the TV western "Bonanza". No one under 40 got it...

Movie quoting for the general public should be limited to the following (and I can say because even I, the caveman, know them).
"You can't handle the truth"
"Frankly my dear, I don't give a damn"
"There's no place like home"
"Go ahead, make my day"
"Hasta la vista, baby"
"I'll be back"
"Phone home"
"Bond. James Bond"
"Show me the money"
"Adrian!"
...anything outside of those, your odds of success drop to about 1 in a 1000.

on the contrary... i have had much success with Home Alone...
at college:
me - "which room are we in again?"
friend - "up on the third floor?"
me - "the third floor!? but it's scary up there!"
'keep the change you filthy animal' is classic.
'buzz... your girlfriend... woof"
and of course:
"look whatcha did you little jerk"
there's probably a lot more from other movies - we don't even realize it anymore. younger folk like myself will have entire conversations based on quotes from movies
